The Musicians’ Union has released a statement condemning racist and anti-migrant violence across the UK. The union specifically mentioned incidents in Southampton, Belfast, and Glasgow, expressing significant concern over increased unrest.
This statement comes amid a reported rise in far-right rhetoric in politics and media, which the union views as contributing to the current environment. The Musicians’ Union has affirmed its solidarity with its Global Majority, refugee, and asylum-seeking members, highlighting its commitment to their safety and welfare.
Members who are concerned about their personal safety in light of these developments are advised to contact their regional office for support. The union’s communication serves as a direct response to the impact of such violence on its diverse membership.
